Purpose

Looking around me at the activities going on in my city, state and country, it seems to me that a lot of us lack purpose. We automatically assume that the life of our dreams should consist of prestige, lots of money, romance and fun. The sad thing is that mystics have known for centuries that these goals will not create the life of our dreams. When we're on our death beds, it's unlikely that we're going to be regretting that we didn't make more money or have more romance or that we weren't famous. Probably we're going to be thinking about the people we love. Our regrets will likely be about any times we missed we letting them know we loved them. Living according to our life purpose will surely include loving other people - which is a lot more reliable a way to live than waiting around for other people to love us!
